Damn, that really is a good price for brass cased. I've always liked Norma ammunition. If I wasn't full on into rolling my own with all the LC once fired that I made, I'd be in on this too.

Very good price ! Thank you for sharing!
BTW... the Norma is rumored to be Geco made.... and it sure looks like Geco 55gr FMJ, but I don't know if the bullet frags like a M193 bullet. And , fyi.. this should be in the Tacked, at the top of the page " All POSTS DISCUSSING THE PRICE/AVAILABILITY OF AMMO GO HERE! " thread... ( No Offense intended at all ) |

I looks like Geco....
But shoots like XM855 in my guns. I shot the Norma Crap side by side with actual Geco 223. It is not the same ammo! |

Yeah its the same brass and maybe bullet but not the same load. Its not as accurate for me but its not terrible either.

To be more clear... Geco and Norma are owed by the same bigger company.
Geco supplies cases and completed ammo to numerous other companies. Black Hills has used Geco production remarketed under their own BH name during the last most recent ammo shortage , Barnes has used their cases, Norma has sold 50rd boxes packaged the same as Geco ( plastic stripper clips, same Geco tear open box ) ... etc. So, it isn't to far fetched that Norma used Geco parts with their own load. My BH rebranded/ Geco 55gr FMJ shoots completely differently then the OEM Geco 55gr load. |

Is the brass as good as regular Norma brass? I bought some but have not shot or reloaded it yet.

So this isn't great ammo?
I just bought some, it was local for $5.99 per 20rnd box. Less than same store was selling tula for. It says "match quality" on the box, I figured it'd be sub moa. |

I finally got to the range yesterday. Compared AE223BL 55gr, Fiocchi 223A 55gr, Magtech FDT 5.56 62gr. and Norma TAC 55gr.
100 yards, 16" barrel. Of all those the Norma was impressive. Sub MOA. Tempted to buy a couple cases more. This is by far my favorite ammo now. side note: Fiocchi shoots super soft. Typical for this? |

Are these crimped and sealed? I've been going with IMI M193. How does this stuff compare?
